    I don’t get it, wall street and business in general are all happy about Orange, cheater and rapist, yet when Huang has affairs, they go bloody red. Not to mention delusional lying impregnator Elon. 🤷

      Well it matters for more than one reason. He cheated on his wife with a literal spy, that is going to hurt Nvidia especially now that Democrats are going to take power and they may actually hold people accountable for breaking export restrictions.

      Then there’s the fact that his a wife may divorce him and there is no prenup. Most of his wealth is Nvidia stock and she will take half of that. Overnight she’s gonna become a major stakeholder in the company. How she will act with that power nobody knows and investors don’t like unknowns.

        Jensen doesnt even own a majority stake of the company… his wife doesnt suddenly become a major shareholder even if she took ALL his shares

      I suppose it’s a question of image: if you’ve hit rock bottom anyway, nothing matters these days. But if you’ve got a good reputation…

      And nobody mentions the possibility that this guy and his wife may have an open or poly marriage, an agreement not as uncommon as most people think. Due to stigma most poly people don’t tell everyone or anyone about their love life - because it is their love life, not that of a billion spectators or whoever.

      About the spying I can’t say anything. About their marriage I can say: Let the two decide what they make of it.

        Given that Huang said he was unfaithful to his wife and made a public apology to her, I don’t think they had an open or poly agreement. As another poster mentioned there might not be a prenup either so a divorce (which is likely) will force Huang to hand over half of his shares making his wife a major shareholder overnight. That creates a lot of tension for people invested in Nvidia.

      Orange was voted in, they can’t oust him. Plus being president of the United States tends to come with a lot of power. Jensen only has a 3.6% stake in the company and no supermajority requirements like Tesla has. This second relationship is with a vice president who reports directly to him. Many have been ousted in the past for having relationships with employees in violation with company policy, e.g. Intel’s Krzanich and Nestlé’s Freixe.

    Nvidia spent 33 years building a parallel computing empire while apparently keeping its leadership architecture strictly single threaded. The scandal is serious, but the bigger corporate failure is having no clear successor. Imagine selling redundancy to the world and forgetting to install a backup CEO.

    He wears those jackets like he’s already divorced and trying to pick up ladies 20 years younger.
